FrAnklinVille Letter.

DEAR EDITOR CLARION Owing to 9TH
or engagements, did not have time last
week to write letter for your valuable jour
nal, | now take the pleasure Of again writ
ing few items of interest from our quiet
little villsgc.
Sunday School Festival begins on Thursday
evening of this week, and rs this is our first
attempt at anything of the kind, and as our
people have been called on time after time
to assist others in the same way we would
therefore invite all to reciprocatc by giving
us their patronage. The receipts of same,
will be used for benefit OF Sunday School, we
need it, will therefore ask you again to give
us your patronage and my word for it, it
will be appreciated by QUE people, and at the
same time you will be giving aid to a good
cause.
Our farmers are all busy harvesting. |
notice some very good fields of wheat, judg-
idg from the amount Of shocks in them.
Mrs. VIM. S. Topper and her grand daugh-
ter, Miss Katie Barton spent sometime III
Carroll County visiting relations and friends
Hope their trip was a pleasant one.
Mr.. VIM. S. Topper is a busy man he made
at his business of Gelding, over 5000 in one
month, this speaks well Of Mr. Topper
Judging from the amount of patronage he
gets, he must be an expert at his business of
Geldns. He (Mr. Topper does large
amount of work in and near Frederick City,
rs well as all over the county.
Some Of our farmers have dragged out their
last hog, the cholera still prevails in Ger
tam localities.
The horse market IN our place is quiet
with n moderate demand. The Graceham
Jockey knocked us out of time, but it will
all come right in the sweet-bye-and-byc.
Mr.. jeremiah Damuth who lost consider
able in horse trade is looking out for a
good sound animal. The last horse he had,
he traded on a COW and got SIS to boot, here
you see from the amount he paid for a
horse several weeks ago that the horse bust
ness Is somewhat dcmoralized.
l must close for this time by saying that
our people are all well so far as know, eX-
cept Mrs. Annie b. Martin, who has been
quite i'll for some days. Mrs. Henry Gall
who had been quite i'll for some time as able

TO AID OUR
FAIR OPENS

A large number Of our readers, residing in
many States, were former citizens of Mechan-
iestown; some are even yet interested d'rec-
" IN the town while others regard it kindly
a. the home of their youth. In this place
they we're born, felt their first love and pos
s;bly experienced their first sorrow; to its
schools they owe their education, to Its
churches, their gectitude of life, to its me-
chsuics their trades, to its maldens wife.
To such we address ourselves; Friends, lay
upon the altar of your kindly remembrance
whatsoever gift may to you seem fitting ad-
dress it to THE CLARION and IN these COL
umns will its receipt he acknowledged and
the srticls or sum, turned over to the officers
ofour "Firemans Fair"
1t will he one way in which THE CLARION
may aid the cause with more dircctness than
words and it will Ike source Of qualification
to us, should our request be needed. Cash
in any sum, or articles for the Fair will fully
meet the requirements of the case.
Aud now, whose name will appear first;
we desire to start the list next week as there
will bc but three more issues before the Fair
opens.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Political Discourses, Legislative, Diplo-
matte and Popular 1S56-1sS6. By James G.
Blaine. The principle Of selection in max
ing up this volume has been to present such
speeches and discussions as relate to politi-
cal events of lasting Importance. The first
speech in the volume is speech delivered by
Mr.. Blaine at a Republican meeting in Litch-
field, Maine, June 2S, 1856, soon after the
nominations of Fremont. The speech opens
with at statement Of the origin of the Re-
publican party and the purposes for which
it was formed. 1t is strong, clear and COM
pact presentation Of the issues then before
the country. The second speech Of the vol
ume was delivered four years later at the
opening of the Lincoln and Hamlin cam
paign. 1t was made at Pennington. 1t is
confined largely to discussion of the effect
Of the free trade tariff of 1916, and points out
that the seeming prosperity which followed
that tariff, and which the Democrats were
accustomed to attribute to it, was largely fic-
titous. and such of it as was real came in
spite of that tariff instead Of on account of
it. The next speech is one made by AIR.
Blaine when speaker Of the Maine House Of
Representatives in reply to Hon. A. p.
Gould, who had spoken against set of reso-
lutions introduced by Mr.. Frye in favor OF
the confscation of the property of rebels.
Mr.. Blaine was nominated to Congress for
the first time in 1862, and in accepting that
nomination he said:
''The great object with us is to subdue the
rebellon-speedily, effectually, finally. In
our march to that end we must crush all in
/ Cl
institution, stands in the way, it must be
removed"
He clearly foresaw that the struggle was to
be gigantic one, and that the people would
be called upon to make tremendous sacrifices
before the Uuion was restored. The first Of
Mr.. Blaine's speeches in the House of Rep
resentatives here published is one delivered
April q. 1864, on the question of
the ability Of the country to sus-
tain the expense Of the war, and
pay the debt which it involved. Then fol-
lows his speech in the Presidential campaign
Of 1864, in which he contrasted the two can
didates-Llncoln and Mcclellan. Financial
subjects are treated of in speeches made in
the House Dec. Z, 1864 on the futility of at
tempting to equalize gold, silver and paper
money by legislation, on Nov. 26, 1867 on ma
tional honor in the payment Of the National
debt, on June %, 1868 on the taxation of the
United States bonds.
On the 26th of February, 1878 Mr.. Blaine
introduced into the House resolution ask.
ing Tor all the correspondence in regard to
the Halifax award, and some weeks later de-
llvered an elaborate speech on this award
taking the ground that the Halifax verdict
was not legally binding under the terms Of
the treaty, and should "neyer be paid with.
out such protest as will forever prevent it:
